“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God hasbeen poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:5
The flow of love between the Father and the Son is the same lovethat is being transmitted to us! It is wonderful to know that in this universe there is only one love. We do not have any love for God. We might think we have love for God, but in ourselves, none of us have any love for God (Rom. 3:10-11). Every bit of love in us toward God is God. Perhaps you feel you do not have that much love for the Lord. You find your heart loving the things of the world. But let me tell you, if there is even a little bit of love within you, a little bit of desire for the Lord, that is the Lord. Take that little bit of love, baby it, nourish it, and let it grow. Just tell the Lord, “Thank You for this little bit of love. It is You, Lord. The love in me for You, even if it is so small, is You. It is God.”
There is one love, and that one love has been poured out in our heart. That is why we do not work up love. We cannot be loving in ourselves. We need to get into another kingdom, another realm, where the divine love is flowing. We need to be born again. When we are born again, we see the kingdom and we enter into the kingdom. We enter into the realm of the divine love. Our spirit becomes joined to the Lord, so that we are joined to the transmission of divine love between the Father and the Son. So right inside of you is the love of God (John 17:26). It is in you. To experience this transmission of divine love, just get on your knees and start thanking Him for everything in your life. Thank Him for every problem. Thank Him for every impossibility. Thank Him that all things are working together for good to those who love God (Rom. 8:28). Just start loving Him and thanking Him. After a short time, the tears will come down, and you will begin to merge with the divine life and love that is within your being. That life is so thankful to the Father. That life knows how to suffer. It knows how to pass through difficulties. That is why the Bible talks about entering into the fellowship of His sufferings (Phil. 3:10). It is not gritting our teeth and hoping for a better day. It is participating in the satisfaction and the contentment of His life (Phil. 4:11-13). Nothing outwardly changes, but inwardly you are joyful in God. God is enough. You say “Thank You” to the Lord, and there is a wonderful transmission of life and love.
